| The Scrapbook Patch |
You may be wondering why we refer to them as the “Dream Team” rather than the Design Team…the answer is simple! These gals are simply “DREAMY” when it comes to creativity & coming up with class ideas, projects & demos for the store... need some motivation? Look no further... now, meet the"Dream Team!" Ionna Norby My name is Ionna Norby. I was born and raised in the Philippines and migrated to the United States ten years ago when I married my husband, Finn. We have four wonderful children, Fiona 9, Peder 7, and our twin boys, Camden and Svend are five. My husband is associated with the Washington Group International at the Pine Bluff Arsenal here in White Hall. I am a stay at home mom - and do volunteer work at my children's elementary school, work part time at The Scrapbook Patch and am also an Independent Consultant for "Close To My Heart". I started actually scrapbooking about a year and a half ago..but prior to that I enjoyed making Christmas cards….so that is what really led me to scrapbooking. I try to dedicate time at least once a week to "cropping", which seems to happen mostly at night after all four kids have retired for the evening! I also enjoy cropping on Friday Nights at my local scrapbook store of choice in White Hall - The Scrapbook Patch, where else?!? I enjoy this time because it enables me to meet new friends, share ideas on techniques and get new page ideas! I am very excited to be a member of the creative team at The Scrapbook Patch! I look forward to meeting more friends and customers while helping you create pages you can cherish & be proud of! Kayla Sherlin My name is Kayla Sherilin and i am the proud mother of Madison who is currently in the 5th grade. I teach fifth grade at Taylor Elementary here in Whie Hall and i spend most of my time away from school enjoying a good book, scrapbooking, and driving Madison back and forth to dance! I started scrapbooking seven years ago when i stumbled into a scrapbook store in Jonesboro. From the moment I saw the patterned paper and embellishments, I was hooked! I enjoy altering ideas to make them my own and i also love learning new techniques from friends and cool web sites. I make a lot of scrapbook/crafty gifts for friends and family so I am constantly looking for new things that make me go "WOW!" Sheila Hill Cato I've been keeping scrapbooks since I was in Junior High School. But after I got married, a friend introduced me to Creative Memories and I've been creatively scrapbooking ever since! My first album was a gift for my husband on our first anniversary -- it spanned from the first time we met through our first anniversary! That's probably the only "complete" album I've ever finished for myself and that was 10 years ago!! I seem to enjoy creating gifts like mini albums, canvases and other home decor items. I am now doing some digital & hybrid scrapbooking, but will never totally give up "traditional paper" scrapbooking. It is my creative outlet and my mental therapy.... that and shopping for scrapbook supplies!! Yes I am more of a shopper than a cropper! And for those that know me...that is no surprise! I worked part-time at Scrapbook Corner/Little Rock when they first opened and I've seen this industry grow to what it is today! It's so hard for me to believe how many products are now available for this amazing hobby. I have taught classes at Scrapbook Corner, The Scrapbook Patch and also held independent classes, crops & workshops. As a former consultant for Top Line Creations, which was once a "home-party" based designer paper & digital scrapbooking company, I taught projects at regional training workshops and in 2007 was one of the Top 10 Recruiters which earned me an all expense paid trip to Cancun in January 2007. I am excited to be a part of the Design Team here at The Scrapbook Patch and look forward to creating more enticing class projects in the future for you!! Billie Rae Boykin I am Billie Rae Boykin from White Hall, Arkansas. I am a "Baby Boomer" with three wonderful children, two adorable grandchildren and a wonderful husband of 44 years!! I have been into crafts since i was a small child. I crochet, needlepoint, enjoy woodworking, tole painting and finally...scrapbooking which has become my poison!! I enjoy creating layouts that are different and unique. I like to incorporate others' ideas into works of my own by adding to or taking away from their creations! I like "eye-popping" pages with bright paper or pretty "bling". I am also a fanatic for anything purple these days! I was quite honored to be asked to become a member of the design team of my hometown scrapbook store and will do my best to help anyone if they should ever need it. My Motto about scrapbooking is this: "There is no "right or wrong" to it - each individual has their own taste and style...that's what makes it fun! Vickie Greer (Bio forth-coming!) |
